Buenos aires: The Vietnamese Embassy in Argentina, in partnership with the Argentina-Vietnam Culture Institute (ICAV), organized a memorial ceremony for Poldi Sosa Schmidt on July 7. Poldi Sosa, the founder and president of ICAV, passed away in June, leaving behind a legacy of fostering solidarity and friendship between the Vietnamese and Argentine peoples. The ceremony, held at the embassy headquarters, was attended by members of her bereaved family, ICAV leaders and members, Argentine scholars and friends, and staff from the embassy.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the memorial aimed to honor Sosa's lifelong contributions to strengthening the cultural and diplomatic ties between Argentina and Vietnam. Her efforts have been pivotal in promoting mutual understanding and cooperation among the two nations, and her absence is deeply felt by those who knew her and worked alongside her in these endeavors.
Sosa's work through ICAV has been instrumental in creating a bridge between the cultures of Vietnam and Argentina. Her dedication to this cause was evident in numerous cultural exchange programs and collaborative projects she spearheaded over the years. The memorial ceremony served as a poignant reminder of her impact and the enduring legacy she leaves behind in the realm of international cultural relations.
